The Dallas Mavericks halted their four-game losing streak with a 110-104 victory over the Houston Rockets on Saturday night. Anthony Davis anchored the win with 26 points and 12 rebounds, while Max Christie contributed 24 points, hitting four of his six 3-point attempts. Christie's late dunk sealed the crucial home win for Dallas.

The Rockets faced significant adversity as center Alperen Sengun sprained his right ankle just over a minute into the game. This injury, coupled with the absence of Steven Adams, further depleted Houston's frontcourt. Kevin Durant led the Rockets with 34 points despite playing with four fouls in the second half, but it wasn't enough.

Dallas also dealt with injuries, losing P.J. Washington Jr. to a sprained right ankle in the first period. Despite both teams being shorthanded, the Mavericks capitalized on their scoring opportunities, shooting 55.0% compared to Houston's 38.7%. This win marks a significant boost for the Mavericks, who are looking to build momentum.
